On the last day of another year
I think, I sigh, I shed a tear

So much has come my way
many a beautiful, awe-filled day

All the love I've been given
within this faith I've been livin

All the faces I've greeted
such lovely souls I have meeted

So another year has come to pass
I feel its gains and losses, alas

I thank the blessed year for its glee
it has ended and I feel I'm a better me

A bit wiser and thoughtful; a year older
more informed and a wee bit bolder

Who we try to be
who we want others to see
whispers through our souls

What charms we possess
what leads to our success
wisdom guides the way

When love enters the fold
when life's radiant and bold
will our wonders never end

Where honesty takes you
where loyalty makes true
worry not of the past

Why do we dream with grandeur
why wish for a worthy future
wise have faith and believe!

Wash away all  my grief
Fill my world with belief
Caress away all  my pain
Show me how to love again
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me
Whisper away all  my doubt
Until I can't live without
Cleanse me, from all my past
You'll be the one til the last
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me
Kiss me, let it never end
You're my very best friend
Hold me throughout all our lives
Let's watch how this love survives
Love, Rain down on me
          Rain, rain down on me

Eventually
it will be over

Eventually
it will end

Eventually
it will be gone

Eventually
I will lose

Eventually
I will hurt

Eventually
I will be without

Eventually
I will suffer

Eventually
Eventually

A splash of
vanilla
behind the ear
will make you
smile playfully.
Cinnamon up
your mood today
with a shot of
ginger's juice;
Cayenne up
your pleasure.
Throw some nutmeg
in to boost
the senses.
Take a clove
out for a
spicy treat.
Sometimes we
need to curry up,
so add in
a pinch of
cardamom,
or cumin
it way down.
Have some fun!
We know that
variety
gives much spice,
such fragrance
to our lives!

You exist for
your freedom.
You don't want
to belong to me.
I can't compete
with such easy
liberality.....
With such
an opponent,
I would eventually,
unintentionally
let you down.....

what started out as
innocent, fun and delight,
as natural as breathing;
quickly turned to serious,
complicated and exquisite,
a mutual need being met;
leaving one wondering
if it was ever just
innocuous pleasure?
